Yay!

Aunt Maggie came to visit!!!

If you haven't been able to tell before, we like holiday themed outfits. Here's our first for VDay.

Eating...

At times, Addilyn has a few issues with eating as she should. She really likes sharing with Bella but, we have found a few foods she just isn't willing to share...bread(of any type), scrambled eggs, and bananas. There are a few others on that list, but those are the only ones that are NEVER shared. She keeps those all for herself. If anyone has any great baby finger food ideas, please let me know.

Sometimes, oatmeal on a plastic baby spoon just isn't good. It has to come from Mommy's spoon and look like it's coming out of Mommy's bowl... ;)

I feel like the words "Me do" are coming...

I'm sure it'll go so much better now that Bella can get to her... ;)

TuTu Cute!

Addilyn got this ADORABLE outfit (hair bows included) for Christmas. We just HAD to take pictures.

On this particular day, she was only happy for pictures with crackers in hand

She and Bella get along pretty well...Think it has anything to do with her feeding Bella all that food we haven't been sharing for so long?? :)

The tutu had to go, it was hard to crawl and climb in! She's still too cute though.

Videos

Especially for the Grandparents, since they haven't seen Addilyn in SO LONG (or maybe just a few weeks).

Does a first word count as such if you can't really understand it? Or is it really her first word if she used to day Mama, Mom, and Dada but doesn't anymore?? I don't know. Either way, here's a video of Addilyn saying Bella. She LOVES Bella and calls her name often. I don't know if you can actually understand it, but we know that's what she's trying to say. :)

Spaghetti!

Addilyn is becoming a very independent little girl and wants to feed herself. So, even when we give her food on a spoon she puts her fingers in her mouth, pulls out what she can, and then eats it. As you can tell...this creates quite a happy little mess.

Sun?! Is that you?!

The sun was out for the first time in nearly two weeks today (even if it was just for a few hours). Addilyn and I celebrated by taking a quick trip outside just to see it. This little girl is growing up so fast!!

Wow, Mom!! The sun is still out there!!

Preparing her baby for what REAL walks outside will be like!

Flowergirl

Did you think the wedding was about Maggie and Chad?! HA!

Addilyn was one of the flower girls for the wedding. She rode in a little red wagon with tool, rose petals, fabric, pretty much everything a flower girl could want, but a strap to hold her in. I was nervous she'd fall/crawl out or cry when she got to the front and saw me standing there but, she didn't! She really did great! She just sat in her little wagon, holding onto her petals like a professional while daddy pulled her down the aisle.

she loved playing/ripping those flower petals.

some pictures in her wagon after the wedding since mommy couldn't very well stand at the front of the chapel taking pictures while hold her bouquet (although our dresses did have pockets that my camera was in, so I was tempted...)
